The second sink
A prep sink on an island or a secondary counter gives a second work zone for washing and food prep.
The plumbing
It needs its own supply lines, drain, and vent. On an island, the vent uses a loop vent under the floor.
The disposal question
Some prep sinks get a small disposal, which needs power and a properly sized drain.
